Danny Dyer has revealed that his 11-year-old son Arty will star in a new working class romantic comedy film alongside him.

The former EastEnders actor, 47, also known for Disney+ series Rivals, has taken on the main role in Marching Powder, which sees him reunite with the director of The Football Factory, Nick Love.

Dyer told the podcast Live And Let Dyers, which he presents with his daughter Dani Dyer, that the film is ā€œsomething very, very differentā€, as he plays Jack who tries to turn his life around after facing a spell in prison.

He added: ā€œIt is something Iā€™m very, very proud of. Because it is a love story, itā€™s a working class love story.

ā€œClassism is a thing, and most rom-coms are never set on a council estate. Thereā€™s Pride & Prejudice, thereā€™s someone in f****** britches.ā€

Dyer argued that his romantic comedy is gritty and unfiltered, and told through a working class lens, which he called ā€œyou know, a love story where both the man and woman say c***, but in a loving wayā€.

The female love interest is played by Stephanie Leonidas, 40, who is known for science fiction series Defiance, where she played an alien living inĀ post-apocalyptic Earth, and fantasy MirrorMask,

ā€œSheā€™s a very strong woman in this. I want to shout out Steph, Steph Leonidas,ā€ Dyer said.

ā€œLittle manā€™s in it as well. Ooh, thatā€™s a f****** exclusive, no one knows that. Arty is in it. My son, my actual son and heir.ā€

Dyer also called him ā€œbrilliantā€, and said he was not sure whether he will become an actor in the future.

ā€œYou know what, this is his moment,ā€ he added.

Dani, known for being a Love Island contestant, previously had a cameo as a pregnant taxi driver whom Dyer, as Mick Carter, helps in an episode of EastEnders.

Dyer and his wife JoanneĀ Mas, who have been married since 2016 after she proposed to him on Valentineā€™s Day, have three children, also including Sunnie.

The actor, known for his Cockney accent, grew up in a council estate in Newham, east London, and had a breakout role as Moff in the cult 1999 coming-of-age film Human Traffic, followed by parts in Mean Machine (2001).

Outside acting, he has presented the documentary series Danny Dyerā€™s Deadliest Men, and BBC game show The Wall.

Marching Powder comes out in cinemas on March 7.
